The N8VEM article is now back and active on Wikipedia. At present, it is
undisputed. The administrator completely agreed that the original deletion
was questionable and the new article was sufficient to justify
reinstatement.
It is probably VERY important that a reference to the new article be added
to the Wikipedia article ASAP.

I left a message for the administrator that ultimately deleted the article
in June of 2012. This appears to be the way that Wikipedia wants such a
request for reinstatement to be made in this situation and is probably the
least likely to generate a defensive posture by anyone at Wikipedia.
Thanks!

Hi! Thanks to everyone for all the great work you?ve been doing in my
partial absence. Still trying to sort things out and making some progress
but slow and very intermittent.
Would someone please take another whack at the Wikipedia Gods (aka
editors) to reinstate the N8VEM article based on the great work that Oscar
has done? He has singled-handedly done a huge amount of work getting the
Circuit Cellar article published. That may be enough to spur them to
reinstate.
Always open for discussion and new ideas. Thanks and have a nice day!

Indeed. Regardless, great to see this progress.
Thanks again for making it happen!

Makes sense. Sorry if I caused any grief by bringing this up.
No, not at all - the idea of getting these articles published was
exactly to get justification for a Wikipedia article.
It's also a nice demonstration about the difference between Old Print
Media and the internet age... getting the darn thing in the magazine costs
10 months. Some people develop two generations of a computer + operating
system in less time than that :)

Oscar.
